"Paradise c. 1355" is a significant fresco painting by the Italian artist Nardo di Cione, a prominent figure in the Florentine art scene during the mid-14th century. Nardo di Cione, who was active between 1343 and 1365, was part of a renowned family of artists that included his brothers Andrea di Cione, known as Orcagna, and Jacopo di Cione. The fresco is located in the Strozzi Chapel of the Santa Maria Novella church in Florence, Italy, which is a testament to the artistic and cultural vibrancy of the period.

The fresco depicts a celestial vision of Paradise, characterized by its intricate detailing and vivid use of color, which were hallmarks of Nardo di Cione's style. The composition is dominated by a central figure of Christ in Majesty, surrounded by a host of saints, angels, and the blessed. This arrangement reflects the theological and cosmological views of the time, emphasizing the hierarchical nature of the divine order. The figures are rendered with a sense of solemnity and grace, embodying the spiritual ideals of the era.

Nardo di Cione's work on "Paradise c. 1355" is notable for its integration of Gothic and Byzantine influences, which can be seen in the elongated forms of the figures and the use of gold leaf to highlight divine elements. The fresco also demonstrates the artist's skill in creating a sense of depth and space, despite the limitations of the medium. This is achieved through the careful arrangement of figures and the use of architectural elements to frame the scene.

The Strozzi Chapel, where the fresco is housed, was commissioned by the wealthy Strozzi family, who were significant patrons of the arts in Florence. The chapel's decoration, including Nardo di Cione's frescoes, reflects the family's status and their devotion to the Christian faith. "Paradise c. 1355" is an important example of 14th-century Florentine art, offering insights into the religious and artistic milieu of the time. It remains a valuable piece for the study of Gothic art and the development of fresco techniques in Italy.
